Dead by Daylight Trivia! (#2)
Yessir we back for another trivia! Hoping to make this a bi-weekly thing to make sure that the questions aren't a pushover. (but also so I do my research and make sure I got the correct answers lol) Just like last time there'll be 8 questions, ramping up in difficulty with each one. There'll be a spoiler at the end of each…
Isn't this game fantastic?
The Good Guy must be upset about the recent changes so he must figuring this is the way to deal with it. Bone Chill lobby too.
20 chests are the maximum right now.
I achieved the impossible. I played Wesker. Wesker brings 6 supply cases. I brought Mistletoe offering that gives 1 extra chest and Hoarder that gives another 2 chests for a total of 3 chests. Then the trial gives 2 chests and another chest in the basement for a total of 3 chests. All the survivors in that match brought…
I am surprised at some conduct...
that is allowed to go unpunished in this game. I watched a streamer who plays Billy and he is extremely good with him but he plays every match by slugging the entire team and bleeding them out in EVERY match. How is this not considered griefing? He does it very intentionally to make the experience as miserable as possible…
Anon mode has switched purpose of use
The whole point of anonymous mode was to protect people from being harassed but after a long time since it was implemented I've noticed that it's been the other way around most of the times. They always tend to be the most rude and directly say any slur known to mankind too, target people, etc. Does anybody else think the…
What if you could pre-sabotage hooks?
I can’t be the only one who finds sabotaging hooks a nightmare. What if you could pre sabotage hooks with a toolbox, similar to how chemical trap and blast mine work? It could activate upon hooking a Survivor. Maybe it could do the smoke bomb effect or Hinder the Killer for a certain amount of time. Idk what do you all…
Plummeting player count
Looking at the steam charts there has been a steep decline in player base. With the peak for the year being in June at around 99k players. The game is now 36k on December 16th. Now after the Vecna/Laura Croft chapters in the June time frame, it makes sense that there would be a surge in players for the release and decrease…
Mistle Toes actively take away BP when compared to no offering at all. Please kill switch them, BHVR
So just to do some super rudimentary testing, I did a 100% fun game with no offering at all, and no streamers/cobblers, nothing to modify my BP gain. No hits, no chasing, no downs, no hooks. This was at 100% killer bonus. The result: 41,263 BP that game. That's my baseline. Then I did a game with the event offering and no…
What changes should chucky have gotten instead of nerfing his speed
I want to hear solution in what changes you would like to see from Chucky whether he's strong or weak For me if they wanted to reduce his lethality, he should at least feel good to play Revert the speed reduction and the increase duration, Keep his 14 second cooldown Give Chucky's laugh lullaby for people of hearing when…
Thoughts on buffed Myers after many hours of play
Getting out of tier 1 and not running out of tier 3 was very nice buffs but not to much different to how myers plays. The stalking from afar definitely helps get to tier 3 faster but tier 3 is still the same. I think he needs a faster breaking pallet speed when in tier 3 like how he has vaulting. Giving myers faster…
What Is Even The Point Of "Invocation: Treacherous Crows"?
Literally what is the point of this perk? You have to spend 60 second in basement doing nothing, does not progress the objective/Generators in any meaningful way. It leaves you permanently Broken for the entire game once it is completed and for the game to play a universal sound cue and notification telling the Killer that…
Survivor is no longer fun
This isn't a topic about balance. I'm not interested in which side you think is stronger, or what needs a nerf. The topic at hand is fun, enjoyment: jouissance. Survivor is no longer a fun role. Strictly speaking about how the role "feels", there is no joy in playing survivor anymore. Being slugged on the ground for 4…
Any tips for dealing with totems builds?
Literally running counterforce/small game to help with all the totems builds I see but it doesn't seem to do anything? Killer managaes to get massive value no matter how fast and efficient i'm cleansing the totems and my teammates just drop like flies and it feels pointless to clenase totems even if you have to with ruin…
Slugging For The 4K - An Exaggerated Problem?
TL/DR: Better to waste 4 minutes while people bleed out while 1 hides than 20+ minutes because that 1 got someone up/unhooked and now I've got 2 hiding…or even just being annoying while teabagging me from hatch. Now, slugging sucks. Don't get me wrong. It would be awesome to just send survivors to the hook, but it's not…
November Killer Adjusment (Plague,Pinhead
Will the promised Pinhead and Plague changes be coming soon?
Looking Back At Patch 6.1.0 ~ Was The "Massive Meta Shake-Up" A Disaster?
Patch 6.1.0 changed a large amount of perks for both Survivor and Killer and ultimately shaped the game to what it is today, however, I would love to look back at the perks and content changed in Patch 6.1.0 and see how well the changes hold up in current DBD compared to at the time. KILLER First off, I think it would be…
How I think basekit unbreakable could be done without absolutely obliterating killers
What if we just let survivors that have maxed out their self mend press their active ability button to get up at the cost of a hook state and taking the incapacitated status effect for a while to prevent them from immediately picking up other survivors (or anything to prevent them from picking others up), also functioning…
What are your problems with the game atm
this isn’t a thread for people to say “all killers _____” or “all survivors _______” this is to discuss actual problems and how to fix them. Problems like tunneling, slugging, flashlight squads, sneaking survivors. for me I have 2: one survivor one killer. For survivor: Slugging. I invited my friend to play and on out 2nd…
What can be done with Invocations?
This whole perk class is laughably bad. To have any effect, you have to: Find basement (takes time, could bring offering, but still). Start doing invocation (takes whole 60 seconds on top of time above needed to find basement - this time could be spent on unhooking, doing gens, healing, cleansing totems). While doing…
New Codes for Cosmetics and BP 🥰
The level of toxicity in Dead by Daylight
I've always wondered whether or not the game is more or less toxic now than it use to be, I've seen evidence for either argument and I was curious on getting some other insights. I know some people would just say who cares don't pay attention, if that is you I appreciate you but keep your comments to yourself, this is for…
What's with all the slugging with this event
Almost every match it's just slugging I had a Hag who slugged with NOED. I get yes at the end of a match killers need to secure at least a kill but you have NOED just hook the person and done. Speaking of NOED I know 99% the gate makes sure something like Blood Warden is prevented and just makes where people have a chance…
What cosmetics do you like to dress your killers and survivors in?
I've always been interested in this question. How do you approach the style of your killer and survivor. What is important to you in appearance? Survivor. I have 5 survivors that I usually play as: Nea, David, Ace, Jane, and Nicolas Cage. I usually prefer inconspicuous suits when I'm going to play solo. When I'm going to…
Fix The Plague
I don't know why when I hit my puke and see the survivor animation and hear the sound playing but the survivor doesn't get infected or injured. I opened up someones twitch stream, they get hit by plagues puke and guess what? Animation plays from survivors pov and he didn't get infected. The survivor streamer was confused…
Problems with sluggin? Then finally play with antislug perks
because that's what they're there for…. That is the truth. Yes it is. There are so many complaints about it at the moment. Use something other than WoO, DS and DH combos. That's what those perks are for, so get out of your comfort zone. A terrible statement? Certainly not. Seriously, if someone has a problem with being on…
Any good alternative healing perks for the event?
Okay so, plot twist is bugged and cant activate in the bone chill event so since Im not very good at using the bug report part of the forums for the issue i just figured I'd see the forums for alternatives personal favorites besides plot twist i use are normally, bond, for consistent team healing and info, built to last…
So... About The (Bloodpoint) Role Incentive...
BBQ and WGLF was changed a long while ago to remove their Bloodpoint effects in favor of a Role Incentives giving a bonus amount of Bloodpoint. It is a direct downgrade, since you can no longer play the role you want and have to play the role with Role Incentives; and there is no guarantee that the Role Incentive will even…
'Why Do Killers Play So Sweaty?' A Rant.
TL/DR: A big part of why I find myself playing 'sweaty' half the time is just how BM survivors are when they win. Killers can be BM too, but nowhere near as frequently. I wonder how many killers sweat and slug because it's better to be cursed out by sore losers than gloated at by sore winners? OP: Trying to play chill…
DBD survey slugging questions
There were quite a bit of questions about slugging and when it is fine or not to do. I’m guessing they are trying to do something about it because there is going to be a large influx of new players with FNAF similar to Resident evil and want them to stay since dbd player count isn’t rising to much. Good on behavior for…
Moved: Healing nerf needs revert or map size reworks do
This discussion has been moved.
When is the challenge overhaul coming?
This is a feature that had a dedicated segment a few streams back that I was very interested in, but nothing has been said since. Are there any developments, time frames, or new pieces of information we should know about the overhaul to daily challenges? What should we expect and when should we expect it?
Don’t be scared challenge in new event tome bugged?
it says to sprint out of an instant snowman 1 time. I’ve tried sprinting out of the snowman using the demolish snowman command and deactivate snowman command. I’ve even tried sprinting out of the snowmen already in the match just to be sure. None of this is giving me the challenge. Is this bugged?
Winter Tales Bundle Issue
I've been trying for a few days to buy this bundle. I get the error from the print screen below. I also made a ticket the other day, but I did not receive any response. Does anyone have an idea why I can't purchase this bundle?
I don't understand the nerf logic at all
We have killers like Blight and Nurse out here with crazy power level and they decide to nerf mediocore killers at the best. I am Chucky main and since his last nerfs he feels awful to play as. I never understand why he got the last nerfs. His kill-rate was crazy? No. Did his power felt unfair to play against? No. Was his…
Servers going down while these devs are on vacation?
As of today, DBD has become unplayable for me. But it's not because of my internet connection. Every single game lags so much that it's impossible to understand what's happening and apart from SWF groups, the lobbies are almost empty and don't fill up. In the last match, I didn't even see any pallets that had been knocked…
Tunneling/Slugging and 4 out compensation
We all know that obviously we won't win every game that we play in dbd. However, especially if you've ever tried killer for the first time, you know how one bad experience can stop you from playing altogether. I think that there should be a system where if you're tunneled without being able to get points or slugged for 4…
Season's greetings from the Fog!
It's been one heck of a year for Dead by Daylight and we're so happy to have been able to share it with all of you! Whether you were serving up detailed feedback to our Developer Updates and Patch Notes, embracing the silly side of the Trials with your screenshotting skills, proving your trivia chops, or anything in…
Every match full of jerks
^^^
Not easy to be Santa, but worth it
I kinda panicked when I noticed Weave Attunement, but it made it even funnier in the end. Have you seen your Santa during the event?
What if Thanatophobia was the other way around?
Instead of penalty for being injured, it's a penalty for being healthy? With a quick change in the values, maybe a flat out 5% for each survivor It would look like this Each healthy Survivor afflicts Survivors with a stack-able 5 % Action Speed penalty to Repairing, Sabotaging, and Cleansing, up to a maximum of 20 %. It…
is there an Alien buff recently?
Ive fought against an Alien killer, who never went inside a tunnel, and just being crawler mode very fast. my qquestion to the developers, whats the point now of tunnels if youre going to have crawler mode very fast?
Server shutdown
Recently i lost my progress and points because after proximately 10 or 15 minutes after match started the server simple disconnect and u go back to the final score table and "chat offline - disconnected server" and missed everything. Someone have this problem? 1 match yesterday and 2 matches today this happened

Anyone else getting high ping spikes on dbd recently?
Since the event came, my average ping has been 80-90 and it jumps to 120-130 sometimes. Idk if somethings wrong with my ethernet but I've also noticed other players having high ping... Anyone have a fix or some knowledge of this?
Entire Sections of Maps Are Just blank
Legitimately no reason to paly survivor anymore these tiles are hilarious. I dont know how many have noticed but there is just NOTHING for 1/4ths of maps. Sometimes there IS something in that 1/4th but guess what kind of pallet you get ? You get these new silly useless things they have added to corners that are SO BAD that…
High Pings / Laggy Servers
I noticed that this whole year most of my matches were either laggy in general or having lagg spikes. It was really noticable during events, which we kinda had 24/7 this year. Pings are for whatever reasons between 80-300 and it just feels like the servers are dying. Has anyone else noticed this? Because gurl I already…
Dead by Daylight Trivia! (#3)
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another trivia! Today we'll be following the regular 8 questions to test your knowledge and see if you really know the game we all love.. I also wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! There'll be a spoiler at the end of each question which will be the answer to the…
Survey questions: Why are you asking the exact same questions twice?
Both of these sets of questions are exactly the same. You just changed the position of the questions and answers. Why? Are you asking for feedback or is this a high school-type test to see if we give the same answer when asked multiple different ways? 😆
This game seriously knows how to push every button
Being blinded even though I was looking away. Being pallet stunned even though I was far away. Hit validation just loving the fact something doesn't hit even though it should or being hit when I'm over a window and far from it. Matchmaking just loving to mess with everything. If I didn't spend so much money on the game I…
Dbd needs BattlEye+EAC
The amount of cheaters and hackers I've encountered in game proves that standalone eac is useless because its easily bypassed I just encountered a Claudette jumping and flying and no clipping and a Trickster with Aimbot who instantly downed all 4 survivors through walls and a spirit who instantly downed and hooked all 4…
